Work Orders

In this article I want to talk about getting deposits, to tell what I do.

I usually ask for about 50% of the job, enough to cover the fabrics and any supplies. If the labor is a lot more than the fabric I might not ask for quite half, sometimes it may be closer to a third. I usually add up the retail price of any fabrics and other supplies, such as new foam for the cushions, and then round that amount off, perhaps to the nearest $50 or or hundred dollars.
